Ferfh Of July celebration.

The Abbeville Fire Company ar
ranged to celebrate the Ath by a
grand parade closing with such comic
sports as climbing the creased pole,
catching the slick pig by his caudal
extremity, and gymastic efforts on
trapeze bar.
On account Of wet weatherand mud
the 4th was not a suitable day for
cele brating, and so UNCLE" SANS
birth day was postponed to the 18th.
W. hope the old gentleman wont
kick about the change, as it makes
him only a few days younger, and
he surely will not mind that. If he
wore dresses we know he would be
glad Of it.
The parade was fine. The fire boys
looked grand, but a little too hot
they stood it we'll though, and as
all moved off smoothly by the country
is safe for another II. months.
The creased pole was too much,
and no one could be found to climb
it, although tempted by a gold piece
at the top. Several desperate eff
forts were made but all were, IN
availing. The cochon did not fair
so well, for an active and Jealous
citizen of the African persuasion
soon cornered him, mashed him to the
ground and selling his narrative
with his teeth lifted him out Of the
pen, by which he was better off to
the amount of a pig and $3.50 IN
gold. So much for the tail holt.
Some Of the young men displayed
great activity on the bar, notably
Mr.. Snlie Blanchet, who is quite all
acrobat. About sunset all went
home in high, good humor, and al
night a brilliant assemblage con
vened at Feray Hall, where the
merry hours were chased with fly
ing feet, while the sparkling eye be
tokened the general merrimcnt and
good feeling which everywhere pre-
vailed.
So we can all unite in the cry
"Hurrah for the fourth, if it die
come on the eleventh"

The Truc Writer.

Were printing presses destroyed
and magazines and newspapers for
COTTON, Gays Alfred Fl. Peters, in
the Writer. there would still be
writer's, as there were before the in
vention of these encouragers of the
art. If there were no public to
write for, certain ones would write
for themselves. Neither the pain Of
poverty nor the pain of death would
suffice to prevent them. The true
writer is like the true gamester, to
whom the play is as much, if not
more, Of a fascination than the
chance of winning the stake. Lit
tie use is there Of reminding men
and women Of the precarious return
of the literary life. 1t is like warn
ing soldiers OF the danger of war, or
sailors Of the peril Of shipwreck. Its
average compensation can never be
otherwise than a meagre one. Moth.
ing is so certain of material reward
as action; nothing so uncertain OF it
as thought.

me the several classes, composed Of
twcnt-ige boys each and told them
frankly my trouble, and asked them
TO aid nc by voluntarily selecting
the best boy in each of there respect
i've classes as master. to whom they
would agree TO render perfect obedi.
ence during their professors illness.
This the boys readily assented to,
and chose from the sub-freshman

rEF,e Cotton Handling Reform.

PLANTER" yesterday contributed
another Of his series Of practical
papers on the subject of cotton hand
ling. The decliue of cotton receipts
from over 100000 bales to about
$4,000, is startling incident in our
commercial history. The cause of
the downfall is known to those who
have diligently studied the matter,
and they know how utterly nntound-
ed is the olt-repeated assertion that
railroad discrimination did it. The
railroads have diverted some of the
trade, but excessive charges at this
port have had more to do with the
decline than anything else. A
change is necessary. The planter
must receive a larger share of profit.
Appliances for the economical hand.
ling of cotton must be provided.
The navigable streams tributary to
New Orleans connect it with a re-
gion porducing 1000, 00cobales of
cotton annually. Steamers and
barges could convey the cotton in
seed to central gins and effect a
saving of 1881 per bale, according
to the calculation Of our correspon.
dent. With such facts before US.
why ponder oser them too long?
Is it not better TO organize a stock
company and inaugurate a system
at once that will increase the re
ceipts at this port? If there are ele
ments of decay in New Orleans,
they are the old fogy ones; the
young men are here and they know
something must be done, and nc
doubt they viii Go it. Don't FORGE
that our city is to be the second com
merical emporium on the American
continent in magnitude. 1t is tht
expiring fogy that issues the despair

immense outside investment of mon
